Does anyone have any good reference material on this. I have been able to modify and set my project base point for my central file but I am in the dark on how to share (publish?) this coordinate with consultants, etc. I was operating under the assumtion that once I established my project base point within my project, I could export or publish to share with my consultants. Thanks in advance.

Wow, I'm sorry but I just don't understand why people don't use their HELP. Search "publish" REVIT's Help is very good if you learn to use it. To publish coordinates: - Click Manage tab
Project Location panel Coordinates drop-down Publish Coordinates. - Place the cursor on a linked model instance and click.
- Select a named location from the linked model, and click OK.
See Defining Named Locations. The linked model file now has the same shared coordinates as the host model file. Note that you will now have to give that file back to your consultants!

Thank you for the response but not excited about the slant. I did, and often use the "search/Help" prior to my posts. Anyway, I walked through the steps you posted so I was aware that I could share the Project Base Point with a linked file, it just seems a bit "carriage before the horse". At any rate thank you for the response. I also did review the article in AUGI/AEC EDGE per another thread... Very helpful.

Don't know what you mean carriage before the horse. ... By rights, someone should initially establish where the project is and then distribute that. But obvoiusly, that doesn't always happen, especially with site models or CAD links so this process corrects that. Note that you can acquire coordinates from a site DWG - also from the HELP: When a Revit Architecture project acquires coordinates from a linked DWG file, the World Coordinate System (WCS) of the selected linked DWG file becomes the shared coordinate system of the host Revit Architecture project, based on the location of the linked DWG instance. The Y axis of the DWG becomes True North, and the origin of the DWG becomes the origin of the shared coordinate system of the Revit Architecture project.

I am slowly wrapping my head around this process. Thanks for your posts.

This is hard for everyone to understand so you are not alone. Sorry to bust your chops on the HELP issue but you didn't say where you had looked first and most users fail to use their HELP... and it is so useful! Glad you looked at the EDGE article.
